Answer 1

y = 11.2

Explanation:

Given:

The Side-Splitter Theorem states that:

JKP is any triangle

KL is drawn parallel to MN, then JK/KM = JL/LN

JK/KM = JL/LN = KL/MN

9/13.5 = (37.5 - x)/x = 7.5/y

9/13.5 = 7.5/y

y = 11.249

9/13.5 = (37.5 - x)/x

x = 22.5

Answer 2

13.5

Explanation:

just subtract everything aan keep the 13/5 and use tat
